URBAN AIR MOBILITY (UAM): TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY LANDSCAPE

 Is UAM just a possibility or an upcoming reality?

Urban air mobility makes use of the sky to help connect people to cities and areas, allowing them to connect more easily. Air mobility is improving in both manned and unmanned modes. The term "urban air mobility" refers to air-based urban transit systems. As a result of traffic congestion, these transportation networks arose.

Urban air mobility uses the sky to link people to cities and towns, making it easier for them to connect. Both manned and unmanned air mobility is improving. Air-based mass transportation networks are referred to as "urban air mobility." These transportation networks emerged as a result of traffic congestion. Two key requirements for achieving sustainable UAM were established by the Horizon 2020 research program on smart, green, and integrated transport: reducing the total environmental footprint and controlling noise and visual pollution. UAM-generated noise has been described as a key factor in this growth.

Even though residents' reactions to well-controlled urban flight trials have been neutral or even optimistic, there would almost certainly be resistance to the full-scale implementation of UAM, as thousands of flights are flown daily in a single area.

In this early stage of planning for UAM operations, the lessons learned and technological advances made should allow us to take the steps necessary to make UAM socially acceptable and sustainable from the start. Drones must be used with caution to ensure that transferring urban transportation into the vertical dimension does not simply re-create old problems in the name of exploring new markets.

It is suggested that openness be used to help raise acceptance of UAM and the noise associated with it among individual residents as well as communities. Residents are viewed as stakeholders in UAM in this concept, which expands on the demand for continuous noise measurements of vertical take-off and landing operations at individual sites, with data collected voluntarily by residents and facilitated by smartphone-based participatory noise sensing.

Competitive Landscape / Major Highlights of the UAM Market:

  • Airbus, a multinational European aerospace corporation, is designing two electric UAM vehicles with the aim of providing short-hop flights between congested big cities and from suburbs to city centres at a cost comparable to conventional ground taxi service. The autonomous eVTOL Vahana demonstrator being designed by Airbus A3, the company's Silicon Valley team, is the company's first vehicle.
  • Joby Aviation, based in Santa Cruz, California, is one of the more clandestine air taxi startups. For its eVTOL aircraft, the company has spent the last ten years developing its own electric motors and technology.
  • Kitty Hawk, founded by Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO Larry Page, is another UAM business to keep an eye on. The Mountain View, California-based company has built three all-electric flying vehicles, but only two prototypes appear to be ready to take to the skies in the urban air taxi industry.
  • Uber is looking to take a sizable chunk of the UAM pie for itself. Uber is in a strong spot to break away from the pack because, unlike other would-be first-to-market UAM pioneers, it already has an app and a brand that users know.
  • Volocopter GmbH, based in Bruchsal, Germany, is taking on UAM with its all-electric Volocopter 2X, an 18-rotor eVTOL air taxi that has been dubbed a "giant drone you can sit in."

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
